Are you crazy Kid Nix, Pokemon are if anything the most unique fighters in the game. I mean the character design and elemental combat options add a layer of creativity that a normal human with weapon adds. Think for example Metagross, naturally since he isn’t anthromorphic people would say no to a character like him. However his phychic attacks deal with grabs; his body, feet and phychic abilities for basic A attacks; his pokemon moves for B attacks; and his hovering ability (in pokemon a Metagross can hover by tucking it’s legs and phychically pulling itself up), It could have to small jumps, a hover ability (like peach’s) and a third jump like Bowser’s or mewtwo’s. Normally people would say no that’d be lame but do we need forty human like character who operate exactly the same or many diverse characters like Yoshi, Kirby, Pikachu, and Ness.
and with this leads to my other argument. Ridley would be different. like Ridley, Bowser changes his size too (mario sunshine). I have played Metroid games, i just got into them not too long ago. I’ve seen ridley big and small. just because for the majority he’s big doesn’t mean he’s always that size or has to be for that matter. I like Ridley. He has a lot of unique attacks as well as a unique structure. Why not make him as big as Bowser (or slightly bigger).
I mean should we argue whether Sakurai could mold him into the basics of brawl when we’re not the developers making the game. I mean who would look at Solid snake as fitting in. The guys in a M rated game that’s not made by Nintendo. So if the only issue is size then really should there be an issue at all. In the japanese forums Ridley ranked really high in the forum. Note in japan Metroid doesn’t even have a strong fan base, so to have him high up there with Dedede, Diddy Kong, and Ike says a lot.
I predict him to be playable. I truly can see the new challenger sign as you are wisked away to a brinstar stage to fight the ptredactyl dragon.
Pokemons belongs in Pokeballs if you ask me T__T
